The agreement is an important part of the development of the company's technology platform and business strategy. The agreement with IGT means that CLS now owns all rights to its product portfolio and can thus fully secure value creation in the continued work with product development and commercialization.

"IGT currently delivers core technology and expert resources to CLS for the development of the company's products for MRI-guided laser ablation. The new agreement also means that the development collaboration between CLS and IGT is extended, thereby ensuring that the necessary resources and skills continue to be available to support the company's continued product development and commercialization," says Jimmy Johansson, EVP Operations, CLS.

The technology from IGT is currently used in the TRANBERG® Thermal Therapy System with the Thermoguide Workstation, a product that is part of a clinical evaluation of the treatment of localized prostate cancer with focal therapy at Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The technology  is also used in ClearPoint Prism™ Neuro Laser Therapy System, a product that is in a limited market launch in the US with indications such as brain tumors  and drug-resistant epilepsy and which is also included in a clinical study of MRI-guided laser ablation (NeuroLITT) of  the tumor disease glioblastoma at Skåne University Hospital in Lund.
